Proxmox Virtualisation for Businesses

KVM hypervisor and LXC containers. Migration, cluster and storage integration.

Why Proxmox?

Proxmox VE is the professional open source virtualisation solution for businesses. As a complete server virtualisation platform, Proxmox combines the powerful KVM hypervisor with LXC containers and offers enterprise features without expensive licence costs.

Compared to VMware, Proxmox VE offers a cost-effective and flexible alternative with comparable enterprise features -- and as a true open source solution.

Two Technologies, One Platform

Proxmox VE combines KVM full virtualisation and LXC containers in a single management interface.

KVM Virtualisation

Full hardware virtualisation for Windows and Linux. Each VM receives its own virtual hardware and runs completely isolated -- ideal for production workloads.

Windows & Linux VMs with full compatibility

Live migration between cluster nodes

HA cluster with automatic failover

Integrated firewall per VM

Storage replication for DR scenarios

GPU passthrough for HPC workloads

LXC Containers

Lightweight operating system virtualisation with minimal overhead. Containers share the host kernel and start in fractions of a second -- perfect for microservices and development environments.

Minimal resource overhead

Start-up in seconds

High container density per host

Ideal for microservices

Seamless automation & scripting

Lower memory consumption than VMs

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Proxmox VE offers integrated backup functionality with configurable retention policies. Combined with Proxmox Backup Server (PBS), it creates a complete enterprise backup solution with deduplication, encryption and incremental backups.

For maximum security, we recommend synchronisation to a secondary Proxmox Backup Server at a remote location -- for genuine offsite backup and disaster recovery.

More about Proxmox Backup Server

Automated Backups

Offsite Replication

Synchronisation to remote locations for disaster recovery.

Encryption

Client-side encryption for secure backups even on external systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Proxmox VE

Answers to the most important questions about Proxmox virtualisation.

How much does Proxmox VE cost?

Proxmox VE is free to use as open source software. For enterprise use, we recommend a subscription (from approx. EUR 100 per year per CPU socket), which provides access to the stable enterprise repository and direct developer support.

Is Proxmox a good alternative to VMware?

Yes, Proxmox VE is the leading open source alternative to VMware vSphere. It offers comparable enterprise features such as live migration, HA cluster and storage replication -- without expensive licence costs. Many companies are currently migrating from VMware to Proxmox.

Can you migrate from VMware to Proxmox?

Yes, migration from VMware to Proxmox is possible and we provide professional guidance throughout the process. VMs can be migrated via various methods, including OVF export, disk conversion or live migration via shared storage.

How many VMs can Proxmox manage?

Proxmox VE has no artificial limitation on the number of VMs. In practice, clusters with hundreds of VMs and containers are operated. The actual capacity depends on the hardware -- particularly CPU, RAM and storage.

Does Proxmox support Windows VMs?

Yes, Proxmox VE fully supports Windows Server and Windows Desktop via KVM virtualisation. With VirtIO drivers, Windows VMs achieve near-native performance.

What is the difference between KVM and LXC?

KVM provides full hardware virtualisation for Windows and Linux with dedicated virtual hardware. LXC containers share the Linux kernel of the host and are therefore more lightweight and faster -- ideal for Linux-based microservices.
